I'm really having a hard time getting out of bed today. I have been looking forward to a day off from work all week and now I'm wasting it. But I can't get up. I've tried all morning. I keep saying I should get up. I walk in another room and feel exhausted and crawl back in bed. My best friend called this morning and tried to get me to go workout with her. She finally gave up. I have to pick my son up from boyscouts at 12. I don't have the energy to drive. I'm not doing so well.

I have those days. You make it through the week using up all your energy to survive it and there is nothing left on the week-ends. In my experience, I always do the bare minimum of what needs to get done on the week-ends (like taking my kids to their activities). Heaven forbid I actually clean the house or do much for myself (like taking a shower).
Celebrate your little victories. Try and get dressed. Celebrate that. Try to pick up your son. Celebrate that. You typed this message, celebrate that. If you truly cannot get up, can someone get your son and bring him home? You are legitimately ill so it would be understandable if you could not get him. Some parent must be able to help you out. Of course arranging that might be too much for you given the way you are feeling. You will feel better eventually. Hope your week-end gets better.

I'm finally up. I've taken a shower and I've picked up my son. I'm exhausted but I'm going to try to stay out of bed. I have a lot of chores that I need to do while I'm off. Maybe I can get some of it done. I'm pretty overwhelmed thinking about it. I don't know where to start. Sigh, here we go. . .
